Cooking With Dad

# My Dad My Hero# All days we spent in the kitchen with our mother enjoying her foods and we mostly cry and ask her to make our favourite recipes.

  Today is a special day, its Father's Day!! I stood in my bed in alarm as I remembered my school term test. I tried to glance at my tiny clock but the hands of the clocks has struck, alas !! Its stopped. I was still in sleepy mood, since last night I was in an attack with my younger sister for sharing our school stories with father. My younger sister everytime jumped into the middle of the conversation saying something not relevant. So, I had to go to bed late.  

  I was still in my pyjamas thinking what special thing shall I do, but I must do in secret if my younger sister see it she will keep the story in everybody's ears and it won't be a surprise anymore. Suddenly an idea came to mind as I was guessing an suitable answer for multiple choice questions.  I got out of bed and started to search for a coloured paper, glitter pens and scissor. I thought to make a card by myself rather than buying in shops. Since my Dad prefer our arts.  

  I started to work with my card, my sister in curious wanted to know what was I doing my room. She banged on the door but I tried to keep silent as I was sleeping, in order to prove it I had to make a sound like snoring. If not she will complain Mama that I am not opening the door and staying in the room for a long time without getting up.  

  Thanks Goddesses!! It worked, she went away blaming me with all kinds of animal names. I had no time to think about them as I was busy in creating the card. Hurray !! Its finished, I felt to jump but my sister was an obstacle for it. So I hid my card under my mattress to make sure that my younger sister won't get it easily. I slowly opened the door and I stretched myself as I woke up now. My mother gave me my bed tea. She saw in my face that I was thinking about, normally it's not easy to hide anything from our mothers, that's natural.

  Anyway, I just smiled and I drank my bed tea at a stretch and I had a washed. My mother was excited to know so she asked, " Cathrine are you going somewhere today ?" With a smile I answered, " No, Mama it's just a surprise wait and see". Then she smiled and went away without further questions. Thanks God, unlike other days she went away, if not I have to answer her essay type question paper.  

  I had no time to waste, My Dad was reading newspapers as his usual daily routine he engage in this task.  I slowly went near him, and said " Dad shall we cook today, You can make your favourite recipe for us ". My Dad with a smile sad, " Chathrine I am not expert in cooking but I will try" I was soo happy since my plan worked out.  

  My mother was not aware what was going on, since after breakfast we engaged in this task. My mother was outside having a chat with next door neighbour Mrs. Silva and my younger sister the attacker, was playing with Mrs. Silva's granddaughter.  I felt some sort of relax and calm. The surrounding was peaceful so we started.

  My Dad's favourite recipe was Making Cutlets. So I gave all the commodities to him but I didn't help him since it was a challenge for him. I saw his body was full of sweat since he doesn't have experience like mother. He started to make, I was hiding myself and I carefully experimented his nature of cooking.  He was not busy like mother. Alas!! One egg was smashed on the floor and flour was spilled on the floor. He felt scared if mother saw she would definitely scold him. Luckily mother was not be seen around.  

  Time was up, Wow !!! He had finished his duty but the kitchen was totally a mess !! I felt shocked if mother sees she will scold both of us. Before tasting and giving remarks for Dad's cutlets I started to clean the kitchen, dad too helped me.

  Thanks God!! Still nobody was aware about what was going on in the kitchen. Now I started to taste one of the cutlets  oh no !!! It was bit salty and it was too much of salmon but I didn't show it. My Dad with a smile asked " how is it Chathriene " with a smile I said " its awesome dad" and we both took some snapshots.  

  I felt soo happy, Oh, Oh, now my mother and younger sister is coming to the kitchen. My younger sister's face was reddish when she was cutlets since she was not aware about it, but my mother didn't say a word except smiling.   

 We all tasted cutlets but we didn't feel to say it was bit salty as this was his first experience of cooking challenge. The other days when mother was ill grandma used to cook for us. However, the food was taste since it was mixed with love and happiness. Even my mother who made cutlets in a more tasty way said they were tasty.  Now I quickly ran to my room and raised my mattress and I took the card which I made.

  I ran to my Dad and gave the card, he with a big smile took it and hugged me thoroughly. Today is the best day, we all enjoyed..
